okay now you're freaking me out because the person who raised concern in me yesterday and why I am posting about this, his name was Christopher.

by the way I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to put phone numbers or identifying information on Lemmy. isn't that against the rules or something

My brother is a Christopher also. I think it was a common name circa 1950s-1970s. Not so much anymore in Gen z or Gen Alpha.
